Senju Naruto of the Dawn

I do not own Naruto

Chapter 2: Early Years

"Try one more time Naruto," Tsunade encouraged the the three year old. "Just focus all your energy into it."

Naruto had certainly changed from when he was a baby. His hair was much straighter with very few spikes, and his eyes had turned a shade of deeper blue, that occasionally changed to purple. He wore a black and red jumpsuit (the same as the one in the anime, but black where orange is and red where blue is), with black ninja sandals. Currently, Tsunade was attempting to get Naruto to awaken his chakra. He would need an early start if he was to grow up and master her own level of control.

The two were practicing in a clearing with a small lake overlooked by a series of large houses and other buildings on a small hill. It was a Senju hideout, made to fit many clan members if needed and had training facilities for many purposes. A medical building, shuriken building, jutsu building, and more. The whole area itself was surrounded by an old technique that was still working well. The jutsu was a time-space technique that made the area virtually undetectable to any outside presence. Basically, it turned the space into a continuation of the forest to anyone who didn't activate the technique to enter. To anyone who wasn't a Senju or VERY skilled in detection, it the whole training compound didn't exist.

Suddenly, Naruto let out a cry and there was a large rush of chakra that was released from all around Naruto. "Mommy! I did it!" Naruto cheered, jumping up and down.

Tsunade didn't immediately respond. She was stunned by the massive amount of chakra she was sensing coming from the small child. At first glance, he could easily be mistaken for a jinchuriki. She would have to fix that soon if they wanted to stay hidden for a while.

Once Tsunade realized she had been silent she snapped out of her trance. "Good job Naru-chan, I knew you could do it." She congratulated. "Now run inside, Shizune made you lunch. I'll catch up with you two later." The hyper young blond ran inside, leaving her to think by herself.

She went through her bag, looking for a specific scroll that would hopefully put an end to her fears of being caught. "Found it!" She said with a smirk. The scroll she pulled out of her bag was a scroll of seals. She read through, searching for a seal strong enough to hide her child's chakra presence. Upon finding it she began running through the hand signs without applying any energy to get the feel for the technique.

Assuming Naruto had already finished his lunch, she called out, "Naruto I need you out here!" Her son came running out of the house and stopped right in front of her.

"What is it mommy?" Naruto asked cheerfully.

"Naruto, take off your shirt, I need to perform a technique on you." Naruto was wary of his mother, but did as she said. "This is going to hurt, but it's for our safety, okay?" Naruto nodded at Tsunade, bracing himself. Tsunade flew through the hand signs and shoved five fingers onto Naruto's stomach.

"Gah!" Naruto fell over as the wind was knocked out of him. There were five black dots in the place of Tsunade's fingertips imprinted on the boy's stomach, but they slowly faded as if they were never there.

"Until you learn to conceal your chakra, this seal will be in place," His mother explained. "Once you can sufficiently hide yourself, I will remove it. You should go rest now."

"O-okay..." Naruto said tiredly. He then walked slowly back into the main house, wincing every now and then. The main house was the largest, it was two floors and had many bedrooms for now dead clan members. It was brick with grand doors, marble floors, and was beautifully built. Tsunade became a bit sad every time she looked at it, seeing as the once powerful Senju clan inhabited it. Now they were all dead but her and her son, so it was very lonely.

She began to think about Naruto's future as a ninja and what he would be learning in a year's time as she sat in the grass, staring at the sky.

Two Year Timeskip

Naruto had progressed wonderfully in two year's time. He was currently working on shuriken and kunai training, chakra control, and learning his mother's adaptation of the Senju taijutsu style. He was able to strike the center of a target with a kunai or shuriken from a distance of 30 meters about 90 percent of the time. However, this was only throwing one weapon at a time. He was born with great chakra control, and had already developed it to a low-chunin level thanks to his mother's teachings.

His taijutsu was also coming along quite well. He was very fast and accurate, plus his attacks were neatly placed. The traditional and most common Senju taijutsu style consisted of mostly punches and arm blocks, but he was taught Tsunade's version instead. Tsunade was more flexible (Naruto is too), so she incorporated more kicking into the style, while maintaining a good amount of blocks. The only hindrance at the moment was that he wasn't very strong, even for a five year old.

'Well, if he manages to master my super-strength, that shouldn't be an issue...' Tsunade thought to herself. "You've still got an hour left Naruto!" she shouted out to her son. Currently, Naruto was using his chakra to stand atop water, while also using chakra to levitate and rotate a kunai in the palm of his hand. To say the least, it was extremely difficult.

'Good thing I have a lot of energy,' Naruto thought to himself. "Okay! I can do it!" he said, but he wasn't entirely sure of himself. He had already been going for a half an hour and was slowly tiring from the sheer effort and focus required to pull of the exercise.

Unknown to him, Tsunade was fairly sure he couldn't do it either. She just wanted to test his limits. So she refrained from putting him in too deep of water on the off chance of him drowning. 'That wouldn't happen...' she thought to herself. '...Right?...'

Pushing her thoughts aside, she went inside to continue writing down medical techniques and procedures for Naruto to use when he began his medical training in a year or two. He already had basic knowledge and first aid experience, but she wanted to wait until his control was completely perfect until moving on to something like the Mystical Palm healing jutsu.

An hour into her work, Tsunade went outside to check on Naruto. As soon as she reached his training spot, Naruto collapsed into the water, unconcious. With a sigh, she walked over and dragged Naruto out of the lake and laid him on the grass.

'He really needs to learn to quit while he's ahead...' Tsunade thought to herself as she sat next to him. She sat there and enjoyed the stillness of the sunny day next to Naruto, waiting for him to wake and start another chakra control exercise later.

I know it's not all that much but that's it for now. So far I have:

- 1 for Sasori x Naruto

- 1 for Itachi x Naruto

Please leave more suggestions in the reviews because the story's main pairing will come sooner than later, maybe even in the next one or two chapters. Read and review, thanks.
